Happy music

[kaberett]

It's recently been brought to my attention that most of the music I listen to is... well, put it this way: I ended up trying to defend the lyrics "None of this is going anywhere/and pretty soon no-one left alive will really care/.../We're definitely going to hell" as cheerful.

So. Suggestions, please, bearing in mind that I'm crap at getting involved with music without lyrics?

For context, stuff I listen to regularly, in no particular order:

• Beatles
  
• Indelicates
  
• Ani DiFranco
  
• Queen
  
• Frank Turner
  
• Wise Guys
  
• Leonard Cohen
  
• Morning People
  
• Barenaked Ladies
  
• Eurythmics
  
• Manic Street Preachers
  
• Pink Floyd

I am not terribly broadly listened, okay. (Optional items on the wishlist: minority-male groups, cellos, feminism.)
